The way your website gets traffic is changing dramatically every year and more and more people are clicking through to other websites from new sources. A great recent example is Pinterest.com which has created higher traffic for many sites than was even possible through Twitter. However, there is still room for many traditional techniques:
Using Traditional Pay Per Click
Traditional online advertising services such as Google’s Adwords are still the main players for driving the right kind of traffic to your website. This is because they are generated from the site’s users searching or visiting websites that are somehow related to the services that you offer. You can even target users in a specific geographical location if this is better for your business (such as a local bakery for example).
There are also more modern alternatives to the PPC system and the best example of these is the Facebook ads. These will target users by what they have entered or even liked on Facebook. The company can sell ads by accessing a vast amount of personal information that users have happily made available to be exploited by advertisers!
Getting Your Links Out There
Getting links on websites that are related to yours is another way of accessing more high quality traffic. You can do this by advertising on websites directly. Another way is to get involved on those websites by posting comments or you can try another option. If you are knowledgeable and know a bit about writing then you might want to write for other websites as a guest blogger (such as writing about cloud computing services if you company is IT related).
A guest blogger will write specific content for a website and then will usually have a bio line that will say a little about them and their business. This creates a lot of good back links to your website and also shows off your knowledge in a specific area. These types of links create a good amount of click-ins because people will have found your information useful.
Creating Quality Content
Creating good quality content on your own website is vital to securing good quality traffic for your website. Google will rank a lot of Internet content on the quality and the amount if interaction it has with the internet. This is usually judged by the number of links into the content as well as the amount it is being shared and discussed online on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Promoting Through Social Media
Promoting your business online through social media websites is another good way to drive quality traffic to your website. Posting your latest hints and tips will have people interested clicking through to view your site. While this does not always create business, it does create a buzz around your business.

We definitely cannot underestimate the importance of focusing on high quality traffic as opposed to overall traffic. You could focus on general keywords which have multiple meanings. This could result in a lot of traffic, but many of those people simply won’t be looking for what you are offering.
The strategy I like to use is to examine what all my competitors are doing. Chances are they have tried different things already and you can learn from their experiences. Pay attention to where they get links and where they seem to be focusing their efforts. The better that competitor seems to be doing, the more you can learn from them.
“The strategy I like to use is to examine what all my competitors are doing.” I try to do the same, if something worked for my competitor there is no reason why it wouldn’t work for me. I would love to have only organic traffic on my site, because using traditional pay per click really didn’t work for me well.
Guest posting is certainly a great way to attract targeted traffic in quick time, however no one can ignore the power of social media but generally it takes huge efforts and time to generate result.
I’ve tried Google’s Adwords before but based on my experience it offered very little in terms of ROI. So I would suggest that people try it or test it out for a month or so before really committing. There are certainly other ways to get your website noticed. If you are a service provider and targeting locally then Groupon may be for you. Content or should i say unique content… is also a great way to get started.

in my experience driving quality traffic to my website, blog or business is about using Google adword. i like this system because it can do everything for you while taking care of the target people, the niche and such things. all you have to do is to invest a little or big money trough their programs and that’s it!

When I started my online business several years back I really did not have a clue on how to market it, all I know is that I can hire someone or a company to do the marketing for me. Now, cost are getting bigger and I can longer afford to hire someone to market my business so I decided to do the marketing on my own. I tried paid advertising but I’m not satisfied with it so I turned to SEO, I just researched and observed on how it works then I know that is the right to go in marketing my business. So to cut it really short, first thing you have to do to drive targeted traffic to your website is have a website worth visiting for, you must have something interesting and original (content, products,etc.) to offer to keep visitors from coming back and spreading the word about how good your website is.
